The Supreme Court Docket
« on: April 29, 2007, 10:06:41 PM »
This is the Supreme Court Docket listing:

If you desire to file a complaint with intent for a suit in Court, post here for proceedings to be initiated.

Please structure your complaint like so:

Quote from: example
I, [Insert Forum Name Here], do file a complaint against [Insert Entity Here] due to their violation of [Insert citation(s) to Laws and/or Constitution] in [Insert Action Here] which was to my detriment because [Insert justification for Standing here].

[Either:] In this Civil Proceeding I am petitioning for [Insert Remedy Here].
[Or:] In this Criminal Proceeding I am accusing the defendant of criminal violations to be sentenced on by the Court.

For Example:
Quote
I, Eluvatar, do file a complaint against God due to their violation of The Primary Laws of Taijitu, Section 3 in their continuous omniscience which was to my detriment because I am now doomed to eternal damnation for blaspheming in #taijitu.

In this Civil Proceeding I am petitioning for God to use their Omnipotence to remove their Omniscience.

DO NOT discuss the merits of the case beyond that.

I, Solnath, do file suit against Myrorian Theocratic Empereum due to their violation of the Primary Laws of Taijitu, Section 10 in deleting the thread "Astronomy" which was to my detriment because the removal of the thread in question limited my freedom of speech.

In this Criminal Proceeding I am accusing the defendant of criminal violations to be sentenced on by the Court.

There's nothing in the laws about cruel and unusual punishment, but...

I move for the unbanning of Baltija, because the crimes he perpetrated (Impersonation, barely-close-to harassment) do not fit his punishment (Permanent banning). Even though there's nothing in the Constitution per se about how long someone may be punished, people who harassed just as much or more as him are repeatedly told to stop it, nothing else. As I see it, Baltija was banned because the just-forming government thought he'd stir up trouble, and "preventive medicine" does not work when you're dealing with banning an individual.

Thank you.

I would like a clarification of your motion according to the form presented above.

I, Myroria, do file a complaint against The Taijituan Government due to their violation of cruel and unusual punishment (?), unjustness, in the banning of Baltija which was to my detriment because I find it as preventive banning, which is unacceptable.

In this Civil Proceeding I am petitioning for the unbanning of Baltija.

Acting as Legal Counsel to Govindia I'd like the submit the following on his behalf. Govinidia wishes to as his legal right to challenge his restricted access to the forums by the Government in Court.

I apologize for no using the stated format, but it does not fit well for this case. To clarify:

Govindia has standing because he was the one whose access was restricted, limiting his use of the forums. He is also a citizen entitled to legal rights.
The remedy he is seeking if proven not guilty is the removal of the restriction.

As per the established procedures I expect a trial to be opened as promptly as possible or one scheduled for something like IRC.

EDIT: Furthermore, Govindia believes that Durnia possesses  a strong and partial bias against him and wishes for him to recuse himself from this case and for an interim Justice to be found.

I ask the court to note that, given the fact it is Sunday and I have very limited time at the computer today, it will be Monday or Tuesday before a prosecutor can be appointed.

I thank the court for it's patience, and appoint POD Gunner as prosecutor.

I, Tacolicious, do file a complaint against the Internal Procedures of the Senate due to their violation of the Constitution of Taijitu in Item III: Procedures for Elections which was to my detriment because it critically affected the election results.

In this Civil Proceeding I am petitioning for a reversal of the Speaker Election results of 12/16/07.

I request a forum trial.

You do, do you?

Well, this will be decided upon sometime next year, busy time of year, Justices inactive etc.

Personally, I recuse myself.

I, Osamafune, do file a complaint against PoD_Gunner due to their violation of Article I, section 6 of the Taijitan Code of Laws in his insulting signature and continued harassment of Govindia and his defense team which was to my detriment because he is in clear violation of the aforementioned law, and helps prevent justice from being properly served in the Taijitu vs. Govindia trial.

In this Civil Proceeding I am petitioning for the removal of "Taijituan Kensatsu-Kan Taijitu's line of defense against the worst scum of the NS Universe" from his signature and any other punishment the court may see fit.

I also request a forum trial.

That's unnecessary, as we've already made a polite post about it. And it doesn't change the harassment during the trial.

Osamafune, I don't believe you have standing to sue for the removal of PoD's signature, as it was not directed at you, nor were you harmed by it.  Govindia, if his citizenship is confirmed, would have standing to sue.  As for his conduct in the trial of Taijitu v. Govindia, a full-blown trial is neither necessary nor proper; a simple motion to the Court that he be held in Contempt is all that is necessary, and you have provided this.

Justice Allama has indeed said that if he acts disrespectively one more time, he will be held in contempt; in this eventuality, the Government will have to appoint a new Prosecutor.



Tacolicious, no Citizen has the right to sue a law.  Citizens may sue other Citizens if they believe that the defendant has used a law in a manner not in accordance with the Constitution, but no citizen may sue laws.  The Court has issued prior opininon on this matter.

Please identify a specific defendant or defendants if you wish to have Standing before the Court.

I remove my request for a trial from this pathetic joke of a court system which has made it clear that it has no capacity to function effectively.
